Violette Station Studio Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I need help with my gare 1822 kiln, with the perfect-fire digital controller. Before Christmas I had replaced a broken element, and the kiln worked fine, I only fired it to cone 05. Then I had a student who needed to fire to cone 6, and the kiln didn't reach higher than 1900F, so I decided to change the remaining 3 elements. But now the kiln will not go higher than 950F. It does'nt make the ticking sound it made before, when heating up. All elements have been changed, and I've checked their resistance, and their good. So now what do I need to check? A relay? or what? I have the owner's manual, but it does'nt address relays, or other problems. I'm not an electrician, nor is my hubby. Can anyone give me advice on what I should do next? Thank you.

neilestrick Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 if it's not clicking, there's a good chance a relay isn't working. Turn it on high and see if all the elements are glowing. If a section of the kiln isn't working, like a pair of elements, then it's likely a relay or a fried wire connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violette Station Studio Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 Thank you Neil, for your response. I will check the relays, and call Evenheat for the specific ones to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naomi Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm very curious how this turned out. Did you figure out the problem? Was it the relays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
